The Justice Department inspector general is preparing to release a report on the conduct of fired FBI Director James Comey in the Trump-Russia investigation.
Comey's memos were, at the least, confidential FBI documents, and at most, in some cases, classified.
Comey told Congress that he sent some of the memos to a friend for the purpose of being leaked to the New York Times. Comey hoped media reports would set off a firestorm that would result in a special counsel to investigate the Trump-Russia matter.
Comey was also part of the process, through which the FBI sought and received a secret court warrant to wiretap short-term Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The FBI cited allegations from the now-discredited Steele dossier as part of its application for the warrant.
Being on the receiver end is no Picnic.
